My 15" year 2008 magbook pro (not unibody) started to have problem... sigh.
The keyboard and trackpad will hang after 2 hours usage. Could be due to the heat. Working in air-con room will be fine.
Anyone encounter this problem?

Received a quote from Apple service center regarding my problem on keyboard/trackpad hang after getting warm. Problem with the logic board and the repair cost RM2450 (including labor charge)... (Warranty period expired)

Called Apple Care toll free and ask for help... Wow, all I can say is very very good customer service !!! Listened to my problem then told me to cool down and he'll see what he can do to help me.
Later received a call from Apple service center informing me that Apple will take care of all the cost and I don't have to pay anything. Absolutely nothing!!! Even after warranty period.

The conversation with Apple Care Hotline operator ended with him telling me that he hope I'll be a happy mac user in future. Indeed I'm very happy with Apple.

SnowLeopard and 64-bit.
August 14th 2009 Posted to Snow Leopard
It looks like not all users understand  about 64-bit support in snow leopard.
So, here is how it works:
on all Macs, except xserve, system boots by default 32-bit kernel.
This kernel can run 64-bit apps justs fine on core 2/core i7 based cpuz.
64-bit kernel works only on macs with 64-bit efi, this is limitation set by Apple,
technicaly 64-bit kernel can be launched by 32-bit efi just fine.
also Apple disabled 64-bit kernel support for any macbooks, even  with 64-bit efi.
64-bit Kernel can run both 32 and 64 bit apps.
On hackintosh only cpus with ssse3 can run 64-bit kernel/apps, its core2/corei7 based cpus.
if kernel is 64-bit, then it can load only 64-bit kexts.
if kernel is 32-bit, then it can load only 32-bit kexts.
Userspace program cant load plugins with other architecture, for example menumeters will work only when you booted legacy, so menubar created by 32-bit application.
Quicktime uses InterProcess Communications(IPC) to load 32-bit codecs in 64-bit player.
64-bit safari uses IPC to load 32-bit flash player plugin.
To try to boot x86_64 kernel on Macintosh,  edit this file:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
find there:
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
and change it to
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=x86_64</string>

mmm surely there's a reason for them to do so? it's lk limiting the potential of their own machines. :T and it's quite a bad thing to do when win 7 is jz around the corner

umm.. just like limiting the hdd interface to sata 150 in the new macbook pros?

is the folder with question mark at bootup common with mbp? my mbp now needs a new hdd. D= . 3 weeks + old mbp.. hope once its changed , this thing won't happen again

hey guys, I was wondering if anyone here can tell me where can I purchase the "mini-DVI to HDMI" converter in PJ area or KL area? I know mini-DVI to DVI are easily available in any authorized Apple store but finding the HDMI one could be a challenge.

Anyone who is currently using it, can you please tell me where you bought it and how much...

Thanks in advance

Anyone know is mac have the feature of "task manager" in Windows?
Because i feel opened few softwares and the ram eat up almost all. sigh.
Or any other way to see what program is open so i can close it?

Guys, how do i add apps to dock ar? Like Frostwire that kind. I cant drag and drop it on the dock. Any idea?

hey there guys, finally got my mbp after a lotta consideration money n this n that...as usual being a noob definitely we all tend into running into some probs...so mine is simple to some but i can't seem to figure it out...tried searching on google but came up without any solutions.

my prob is that i am using both DiGi and Maxis broadband for work and play, thing is its the same Huawei modem different models so everytime i plug either one in i've got to reinstall the maxis Mobile Partner driver because it asks me "Do you want to install a different version of the application?" and then vice versa so at the end i have to restart all over again.

This is pretty silly, why doesn't OS X recognise that it comes from 2 different mobile ISPs and different models (DiGi is E1550 and Maxis is E1762)? is there a work-around dear sifus?

Thx.

Where do i upload these files? here?

true, but looks like more maintenance.. n higher bills... ;p

A lot of people will be sad because the 13" model didn't come with  a new Core i3/i5 processor.
